Working on a multisig solution for authenticated file distribution, initially targeting GitHub releases. Based on minisig and git.

I think this project is an interesting addition as a software supply chain solution, but generating interest in the project in this early stage proves difficult.

For those interested, I maintain a spec in parallel of the development at https://github.com/asfaload/spec

Working on a original algorithm to explain human behavior from 3rd person perspective (1st stage). The whole research is divided into 6 stages.

In 2nd stage, I will mathematically establish the best course of action as an individual given the base theory.

In 3rd stage, I will explain common psychological phenomenon through the theory, things like narcissism, anxiety, self-doubt, how to forgive others, etc.

In 4th stage, I will explain how the theory is the fastest way to learn across multiple domains and anyone can become a generalist and critical thinker.

In 5th stage, I will explain how society will unfold if everyone can become generalist and critical thinker through the theory. And how this is the next big societal breakthrough like Industrial revolution.

In 6th and last stage, I will think about how to use this theory to make India the next superpower, as this theory can give us the demographic advantage.

Shared more about the algorithm here https://x.com/admiralrohan/status/1973312855114998185

Working on improving the data pipeline for https://iplocate.io - an IP intelligence service I've worked on since 2017.

Recent focus has been on geolocation accuracy, and in particular being able to share more data about why we say a resource is in a certain place.

Lots of folks seem to be interested in this data, and there's very little out there. Most other industry players don't talk about their methodology, and those that do aren't overly honest about how X or Y strategy actually leads to a given prediction, or the realistic scale or inaccuracies of a given strategy, and so on. So this is an area I'm very interested in at the moment and I'm confident we can do better in. And it's overall a fascinating data challenge!

Giving people free blood tests when they donate blood! https://hellogoodlabs.com/ - available in San Francisco :) https://app.hellogoodlabs.com/book-tests/donation

It would be helpful for the box for each test to include some explanation, eg:

25-Hydroxyvitamin D, also known as calcidiol, regulates calcium absorption in the intestines, promotes bone formation and mineralization, and supports immune function.

Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) is a protein that binds to LDL receptors on cells, allowing lipoproteins to deliver cholesterol and triglycerides to tissues for energy or storage.

Lipoprotein(a) is a low-density lipoprotein variant identified as a risk factor for atherosclerosis and related diseases, such as coronary heart disease and stroke.

etc.
